ftpdisc (also in a free lite version) can be used to download PDF files to the iPhone. Later you can view these file offline.

hi folks…came across this post and thought some people might be interested in our Aji Reader / Aji Annotate apps, which are perfect for handling large PDF libraries for offline reading — similar to Air Sharing, but much better PDF reading features. check out our youtube vids at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ajiapps

I’ve tried everything mentioned above to try and make my iphone a great ebook reader primarily for the giant folder of pdfs that I have but most fell a little short of what I wanted. I finally settled on reading local pdfs with Safari which I uploaded to the iphone using SCP. I didn’t have time for all the URI stuff and emailing due to the large amount of reading.

Thanks

FileSync

I recommend FileSync from Jeff-Net. You can view PDFs, PPTs, XLSs, and DOCs. Works great and it has email support, too, to mail files from your iPhone to other users.

G tolentino, PDF Viewer can only be found on old version of Installer. So, I suggest you to download Air Sharing, Discover from App Store. Or you can use “DOCS” from Cydia to read PDF.

I can’t seem to find the PDFviewer.app on installer? I can’t find it either on Cydia….where do I get it or rather, how do I find it?
